Please tell me this is not a ghost, even though it obviously is and I have to move

We have lived here for 6 years and haven't got around to looking in the loft space above my sons' room. I have for no particular reason always been convinced that it is a bit creepy. Yesterday DH looked in, said it was empty and took a photo to show me.

I didn't look at the photo until today.

We're going to be murdered by this grinning ghost head aren't we?? 😬 😭

Is it not a mark on your camera

This is the perfect example of how human brains make faces out of abstract patterns.

This is genuinely my favourite thread, ever.

But yes OP, you’re going to have to move.

Interested in this thread?

I can see Pink Oboe’s skull but also Little Boy Blue having a rest in the hayloft, obvs. He’s even wearing a country bumpkin hat.

It’s like lying back and looking at clouds, the human brain tries to make sense of the shapes. We are built to try and see faces. The insulation even reminds me of a 3D baby scan so I’m surprised we aren’t all seeing babies everywhere. Grin

No ghosties, OP, just bog standard psychology and a bit of fun!

I see a cat too. If it is the ghost of a cat it wouldn't worry me, the worst it'll do is rub against your legs & purr. I love cats & wouldn't mind having a ghost one. Does away with the need for a cat flap.

@boring485 - please share with the class!

Duckyneedsaclean · 05/08/2019 22:58

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a grinning face? This is what I see

@Iwantacookie a cellar! Although I imagine that must be crawling with ghosts too

@clarissa469 yes! I see that profile, but the mouth open in a smile or grin

This is classic, and very interesting MNHQ
well done OP, it's the best thread for ages. Thanks

clarissa469 · 05/08/2019 23:03

Oooooh freaky. I love it!!!

Do you know the history of your home?

@Duckyneedsaclean I'm too thick to work out how to private message so please message me!! X

Duckyneedsaclean · 05/08/2019 23:06

No major history, but it's a Georgian terrace, was slum housing, the area was heavily bombed in WWII, houses repaired in the 70s.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 05/08/2019 23:07

Op can you let us know what boring says? 😂

clarissa469 · 05/08/2019 23:07

Ok based on that your house is a million percent haunted. If they are nice ghosts be nice back. You'll be Reet 🙌🏼

Duckyneedsaclean · 05/08/2019 23:08

@RumpoleoftheBaileys I'm on tenterhooks!

This thread is hilarious; properly laughing aloud.

Saucery started me off - “OP, are you, menstruating right now?” 😆

Then the weird PKE influences that make two posters flood the thread with duplicates.

Then the bloody annotations - classic!

But seriously, I do see the teeth now I know it’s the profile you’re looking at, and the ‘in-blob’ faces are definitely there and very impish. The weird face in the background looks like an Olmec (?) head or something. They are all completely nothing though!!

Duckyneedsaclean · 05/08/2019 23:09

Have pm'd you @boring485. But if you can't work it out, just click the three dots on this post and there's an option

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 05/08/2019 23:11

I’m howling. Although that pic where you can see multiple faces in the cloud is bloody creepy!

OpheliaTodd · 05/08/2019 23:12

I honestly despair of humans sometimes. Of all those who are going “oooh I’m scared” and “it’s an orb!” and other such replies that suggest they believe this shit, the law of averages dictates that at least some of them are from people in positions of responsibility like doctors, teachers etc. That is truly scary.

ShrodingersRat · 05/08/2019 23:13

“You could google paranormal groups in your area and send it to them to see if they can explain/ debunk it? “

Oh, god don’t do that! Your house will be inhabited by 50 year old men in bad anoraks and women who travel by coach with knitting and a flask and they certainly won’t debunk anything! That would make their lives sad and empty.

Isatis · 05/08/2019 23:16

Nope, no ghosts anywhere. Due to there being no such thing.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 05/08/2019 23:16

@OpheliaTodd - I’m not a doctor, but I can safely diagnose that you’ve had a sense of humour bypass Star
